It starts ten minutes before the class period is due to end. After my partner and I conclude a powerpoint presentation to the class, Mrs.Kassir has us skim an article which…

then talk a little about the differences between deontological and teleological. Based on the ethical system we have discussed in class, the one that fits me best would be egoism. It fits me best because self-interest is definitely something that describes me, that 's something people say about me when they first meet me.

My Kairos Experience When I was little, the religious life never interested me. I thought it was only for older women who were always kind, never sinned and had a lot of time to go to church for 2 hours every Sunday. Yes, I thought it was 2 hours because when I had to go to church, it felt like I wasted half of my day.
